Lev Raphael, a novelist and
reviewer whom I really respect, said in passing a while back, "... it's still thrilling to find a book or writer you adore and to be able to share your enthusiasm and excitement, your passion. Books I've recently been thrilled and fascinated by:
Joseph Kanon--Alibi (mystery);
Tom Reiss--The Orientalist (biography with a touch of mystery) ;
Azadeh Moaveni--Lipstick Jihad (memoir)."
Well, yaay, the library has all three.
Kanon is a local connection of sorts, his first big book was the 1997 thriller
Los Alamos, about the making of the atomic bomb. It was wildly popular around here.
